Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomVery noisy until the small hours, but then it is above a pub!! The TV had the power buttons removed from the tv set itself, and the remote control, so we couldn’t use it.
The room was spacious, clean and modern. The layout of the beds was perfect, and they were so comfortable. The host was very accommodating for our late arrival.

United KingdomThe single bed was rather soft and the room felt a bit cramped and dark.
Friendly welcome, good value overnight stay. Room could sleep a family of 5 but it would have been a bit crowded (it was just about okay for 3 adults for a one night stay). The rooms are above the bar so expect some noise but it wasn't overly loud (we stayed on a Saturday night). We didn't stay for breakfast (available at extra cost) as we met up with friends elsewhere. Convenient location for the wedding we went to at South Causey Inn. Also close to Durham and Beamish museum. Checked in at the bar but we were then given a key to a separate entrance so it didn't matter what time we got back.

United KingdomIt was very noisy at night. This was expected as it is a pub but it was louder than we thought it would be. Some guests had obviously been smoking in their room also so it made the hallway smell. Couldn’t get the wifi to work in our room
The family room was very spacious and clean. Easy access from the car park so you don’t have to enter through the pub. Lovely friendly staff

United KingdomThe shared bathroom (which was just the toilet as their was a shower and basin in the room). I did know what I was getting when I booked. The only issue I had with the shared toilet was fear of locking myself out of my room at night. It was noisy but again it was a very hot Saturday night and there was a 21st birthday. It did quieten day at about 11.30pm. (You know you are staying in a pub so expect some level of noise)
The room was comfortable. Well decorated. All we needed for a nights sleep. Friendly bar staff. Food available.

United KingdomUnfortunately there was no option for breakfast which was a little disappointing, however with this said the owners are new and I have every faith that this will be resumed in the future. It was also a little difficult to check out. Our check out time was 10am but nobody was in the bar to hand back the keys, so maybe a drop box or something would be handy.
Staff were amazing, so accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. They were pleasant professional and friendly. The rooms were clean and fresh. Our room wasn't ready so we were able to leave our bags in another locked bedroom until we returned on the evening which was brilliant.
